Dave Dobbyn available light (CD, Sony Music, 2005) ****
Genre: NZ pop/ rock
Places I remember: The Warehouse
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: accoustomed to the light (from available light and yes - all lower case)
Gear costume: welcome home (available light)
Active compensatory factors: These albums don't include any big hits as such although they both Top 10'd in NZ's album charts at the time of release.

What they do do is show Dave's range and maturity as a writer after all the radio friendly hits.
What I particularly like is the effortlessly relaxed vibe they both have. Hopetown includes various ex Th' Dudes members and both have Neil Finn popping up from time to time (more so on available light). Bones Hillman and Bic Runga also appear on available light. Point being - these guys know each other well!
Where do they all belong? The greatest hits compilation A Slice Of Heaven - 40 Years Of hits, is a great place to start. It has 21 tracks of Dave Dobbyn's quirky brand of pop, and includes Th'Dudes and DD Smash - all killer!
